Chapter 122: Hypocritical courtesy

Watching Zheng Jingning and Lan Yao go back to the house first, Zhao Ying looked at Zheng Xiuning on the side, thinking about what Zheng Anyan said just now, and said to Zheng Xiuning, "I wonder if Sister Xiuning has time to accompany me to take a walk in this mansion?" ”

Zheng Xiuning listened to Zhao Ying's words, put a handkerchief to his lips to hide his smile, and pretended to be shy, and said, "What is this talk of the Third Highness, it is Xiuning's honor to accompany the Third Highness to walk around the mansion, but it is just Daddy's body..., the Third Highness also saw it, Xiuning was ignorant before, and now Xiuning just wants to accompany his father as much as possible." ”

Zhao Ying looked at Zheng Xiuning's shyness like this, the blow he had just received on Zheng Jingning's body was greatly satisfied in Zheng Xiuning's body in an instant, and even the words of refusal sounded a different kind of shyness to Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying looked at Zheng Anyan who was lying on the bed, "Sister Xiuning is also a piece of filial piety, if I force Sister Xiuning to go shopping with me like this, Sister Xiuning will not be happy in her heart, in this case..."

Zheng Anyan is an old man after all, it's not that he can't see some of the problems here, but after all, the other party is the third prince, and his family has a marriage contract with the Xiao Mansion, so all Zheng Anyan can do is to pretend that he doesn't know anything, and let the children solve it by themselves.

Zheng Anyan wanted to sit up, Zheng Xiuning saw it and hurriedly stepped forward to help Zheng Anyan, Zheng Anyan looked at the worry on Zheng Xiuning's face, and his heart softened for a moment, but when he remembered what Zheng Xiuning had done before, he became vigilant again.

"Xiuning, you can accompany His Royal Highness the Third Prince to take a walk, my old bones are here alone to rest and rest, you don't have to worry about me, you can help me take care of His Royal Highness the Third Prince."

Zheng Xiuning looked at Zheng Anyan, his face was full of entanglement, and it took a long time before he took a deep breath, as if he had finally made up his mind, and said, "Then Xiuning followed his father's wish, but before Xiuning went out, he asked his father to allow Xiuning to find a maid to accompany his father, otherwise Xiuning would really not be at ease." ”

Zheng Anyan looked at Zheng Xiuning like this, sighed, but also followed Zheng Xiuning's words.

Zheng Xiuning bowed to Zhao Ying and said, "The courtier Xiu would rather take His Royal Highness the Third Prince to visit the mansion, and please don't dislike Xiuning." ”

Zhao Ying looked at Zheng Xiuning like this, a trace of interest flashed in his eyes, and he also learned from Zheng Xiuning's appearance, and the void pretended to help Zheng Xiuning, "Sister Xiuning laughed, and asked Sister Xiuning to lead the way." ”

Zheng Xiuning and Zhao Ying walked out of the door, and when they arrived at the door, Zheng Xiuning suddenly paused, and only whispered without looking back, "In the past, Xiuning did something wrong, and lost the most important thing for himself, but now even if Xiuning sincerely repents, it will not help." ”

The voice was not loud or small, but it also clearly reached Zheng Anyan's ears, Zheng Anyan looked at Zheng Xiuning who was gradually walking away, and his heart was full of complexity.

Zheng Xiuning only took the personal maid who had just been promoted, and came to the garden with Zhao Ying, and the begonias in the distance were floating in the wind, with a different kind of beauty under the light of the faint light.

Zhao Ying couldn't help but stop, Zheng Xiuning followed Zhao Ying's gaze, and said softly, "The flowers in the Prime Minister's Mansion are all carefully cultivated by flower farmers, and the deceased mother of the Prime Minister's Mansion likes flowers very much, so my father specially recruited people from many places to cultivate flowers." ”

"This Xishu begonia is a major feature of our Prime Minister's Mansion."

Zhao Ying looked at Zheng Xiuning with great interest, and motioned for her to continue, Zheng Xiuning didn't sell much, and then said.

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince also knows that the begonias, known as the fairy of flowers, like yin, will wither if the temperature is too high, and the temperature in our capital is hotter than other places in summer, so in order to preserve this begonia flower, my father deliberately opened a cold storage not far below to preserve the begonia flowers from withering."

Zhao Ying listened to Zhao Xiuning's words, crossed his hands on his chest, leaned against the pillar, and said, "It turns out that there is such a reason hidden underneath." ”

Zhao Ying looked at the only flower in the pool that bloomed alone in a clearing not far away, and let out a surprise and walked over quickly, and the maidservants hurriedly followed.

Zhao Ying stared at the flower for a long time before pointing at the flower and said, "Sister Xiuning, this flower..."

Zheng Xiuning followed Zhao Ying's pointing and looked at the flower, and said, "Is there anything wrong with this flower?" ”

Zhao Ying frowned, "Why haven't I seen this flower in the palace, and this flower is still bright red." ”

Zheng Xiuning heard this, walked to the edge of the pool, squatted down and touched the flower with his hand, and said, "This flower is called Wang Lianhua, the flowering period is extremely short and difficult to raise, only three days of flowering, so it is also called the three-day flower." ”

"The flowers bloom only in the evening, white on the first day, pale red or dark red on the second day, and close back into the water on the third day.

Zhao Ying looked at Zheng Xiuning, and felt a little less contempt for Zheng Xiuning in his heart, "It seems that there are some things that you can't understand if you don't know what is going on." ”

Zheng Xiuning got up and patted the ash on the corner of her skirt, and looked at Zhao Ying with a smile, "What His Royal Highness the Third Prince said is that there are some things that you can't understand what is going on if you don't go to see them yourself, just like a book, a thousand people can have a thousand different ideas, let alone people?" That's right, His Royal Highness the Third Prince. ”

"What Sister Xiuning said is that for the same item, everyone will think differently, let alone a living person, but I have been taught."

Zheng Xiuning looked at Zhao Ying's reaction, and the big stone in his heart slowly landed, "His Royal Highness the Third Prince said and laughed, Xiuning is just a courtier, if it weren't for her father's teachings, how would Xiuning know this." ”

Zhao Ying's eyes stared at Zheng Xiuning with deep eyes for a while, and then he spoke again, "The prime minister is really not an old military teacher, and even his daughter teaches him so thoroughly. ”

"It was Xiu Ning who let His Royal Highness the Third Prince see the joke, and Xiu Ning can't afford this kind of evaluation."

Zhao Ying looked at Zheng Xiuning, and said as he walked towards the corridor, "Sure enough, what outsiders say is far worse than what they have seen with their own eyes." ”

Zheng Xiuning secretly sighed in his heart, understanding that with this scene now, everything will be easy to handle next, and said to Zhao Ying, "The ancients have a good saying, what you see and hear with your own eyes is the basic of people. ”

Zheng Xiuning knew that it was almost okay today, and it would be unfavorable to him if he said more, so before Zhao Ying could speak again, Zheng Xiuning preemptively said, "His Royal Highness the Third Prince, it's not early, it's time for dinner, if we are still here, I'm afraid we will miss the hour." ”

When Zhao Ying heard this, he also replied with interest, "It's almost time, in that case, let's go back to dinner." ”

Zheng Xiuning heard this, turned sideways and let Zhao Ying go first, stood in the back position next to Zhao Ying, and took Zhao Ying to the front hall with a smile.
